A week ago, one of our clients who retired called us out of the blue to ask if the server that they used 5-10 years ago could be booted up to extract some UHC-specific data. I won't get into the details of what it takes to resurrect an RS/6000 (the good ol' days!), but I did want to learn more about why they wanted the data.

Turns out that that class action lawsuit against UHC for out-of-network claims that I'd heard about, but didn't understand, has moved forward quite briskly. Fortunately, our friends at The Verden Group put together this great memo for practices who might need some guidance. You have until October 5, 2010 - which is a very, very special date - to respond. Get on it!
